[Robb Harriss]

Non-linear: all the time and nothing but.

[Tom Wolsky]

MPEG-1 is usually used at 320×240.

All the best,

Yes that the only standard for MPEG-1.
If you want a 16×9 clip in MPEG-1, it must be letter-boxed.
The Toast MPEG-1 encoder used to have few option to frame the picture.

mpeg 1 works in ffmpeg with whatever size you give it.

% ffmpeg -i fluid.mov -sameq intermediate.mpg

A 1024×576 frame size came out at 8 Mbps and looks stunning.

It is especially useful as a high quality intermediate to stitch tops/tails etc. before final encoding.
